1. I wish this was a parody. But it isn't, I'm afraid.
"Canada displays its filthy fag finger to God"?

That's pure Fred Phelps.

The bastard is going to die eventually, along with his demented brood.

I want to find out where he's going to be buried, go to the gravesite, ingest some Ex-Lax and take a HUGE dump on his grave. It won't mitigate the evil this motherfucker has promoted, but it sure will make me feel better.

17. I have a much better idea...
When Phelps is finally cancelled by God, we should get a group together and repay the compassion he and his sheep displayed during the Matthew Shepherd memorial. I am sure that I can think of a few appropriate slogans for the event.

2. Just wait 'til O'Lielly finds it.
It will probably be posted all over faux to support his assinine boycott.

Just when I think he can't become more of an idiot, like a magician, he surprises me!

3. "Idiot" doesn't describe Fred Phelps.
This is his SINGLE, solitary mission in life. To rail with hate against the "fags" of the world. And he's brainwashed his entire family.

Fred Phelps is Hitler personified. I sincerely think this man would gladly see all gay people herded up into concentraion camps and exterminated.

He's evil incarnate and I for one will rejoice when he's dead.

4. You have to look over it a few times to work out that it isn't parody.
Still, I'm sure God has some surprises in store for him when he shuffles off this mortal coil.

8. It isn't parody, SLB. It's pure Phelps.
I'm getting worked up over this, but I can't help it.

I've visited God Hates Fags.com and I felt dirty and ashamed for doing it. It's irrational hatred. And it can't be explained away by mental disorder. I genuinely feel that Phelps feels this way.

I hope you're right, SLB.

12. Yeah, Terry. It's pretty gross.
And I'm also honoured to be a citizen of a country that Fred Phelps hates that much. Still, there's also a God Hates America site, so we can all be honoured by Fred's psychotic attention.

16. SLB, thank you for adding the warning.
This is pretty vile stuff we're dealing with. I appreciate you letting people know in advance.

I've seen Fred up close, so to speak. He and his brood were at the Gay and Lesbian March on Washington in 1993. He's a twisted looking little man. You could see the hate in his face.

But, man it sure was nice to see that handful of hatemongers OVERRWHELMED by 1 million of us gay people. Oh, it was nice. :-)

21. I didn't think about it from a gay man's perspective, Terry.
It must be really nasty to see that shit. For me, I laugh at Phelps and his ilk, but then, I'm in no real danger from them, unlike you. Sorry if it caused you distress.

23. No, SLB. Don't apologize. I know about him. You did a good thing.
There are some people who don't know who he is. Including some good people here. They should know about him. It's a good lesson in (admittedly extreme) homophobia.

I'll be ok. I still get worked up over him, though.

Thanks for being concerned.

The idiot I was refering to was O'Lielly. He is just plain stupid. Phelps is downright scary.

Edited on Fri May-07-04 08:10 AM by fudge stripe cookays
I'm straight, and I detest the man and his hate-mongering. I didn't know who he was til around 95 or so.

The AIDS quilt came to Dallas, and because of an insane work and school schedule I couldn't make it to go see it. So I picked up a copy of "And the Band Played On" instead to feel like I was educating myself and feeling the emotion behind it.

One of the guys I worked with saw me reading it, and although we hadn't talked much before that, we bonded immediately. He was gay and told me about Phelps, and the fact that he picketed Randy Shilts' funeral. I was so stunned I couldn't believe it.

I still can't believe that he has the GALL to add a "reverend" before his name.

I for one will join you for that poop.

36. "I sincerely think" -- well, he SAID something more or less equivalent
Among other things, he says that, to avoid God's wrath, all countries have to make homosexuality a crime punishable BY DEATH. It's there at godhatesfags.

Because, you see, life in prison isn't enough.

20. To everyone who can't stand Fred Phelps.....
Edited on Fri May-07-04 08:20 AM by drumwolf
...I highly recommend you do a Google search on the words "addicted to hate." It will lead you to a nice little expose on the man, which was originally meant for print publication but never made it because Phelps' kids are all attorneys who have been able to intimidate WBC's opponents with the threat of lawsuits.

If that expose is even remotely accurate, Phelps' depravity goes way beyond "only" hating gays. He comes across as a textbook clinical psychopath, and homophobia and fundamentalism aren't the actual causes of his hate so much as they are simply the vehicles for it.

EDITED TO ADD: I have a suggestion to anyone who gets a visit from the Westboro Baptist Church, which consists entirely of Fred's extended family that he has terrorized into submission.

When they come around to your town, print out copies of "Addicted to Hate" and get 'em bound at Kinko's beforehand.

Then when they picket outside, engage in friendly conversation with individual members, preferably the kids and not the older members. When their parents aren't looking, try to persuade them to take a copy of "Addicted to Hate" and read it.

Good to know. When I get a chance, I'll do a lookup and educate others about it/him as well.

If you ever read some of the comments below Yahoo news stories, many of them are hate-filled and barely literate. THOSE are the ones I'm afraid of. But I will fight these assholes with every breath in my body.

29. good point.

Good point. You should be more afraid of the wingnuts who write LTTE or online comments in response to news stories. Their hate may be comparatively less extreme than Phelps's, but it is much more dangerous because it's so ingrained in a large segment of our country's population and has too much of a role in guiding the direction of our country.

Fred Phelps is IMO a pretty isolated and extreme example of a deranged individual and I don't think he should be viewed as representative of the rank-and-file fundies. He and his cult should be fought, nonetheless, because a destructive psychopath who isn't representative of RW fundies is still a destructive psychopath.

33. This is a tremendous service. Thank you.
It's not a huge stretch for me to believe the backround on Phelps' after reading this excellent article.

I think this should be forwarded to everyone who wants to know about him.

24. My personal "favorite" of Phelps (read at your own risk)
http://www.godhatesfags.com/fliers/oct2003/Limbaugh_10-14-2003.pdf
WARNING:
It's a .pdf, and will download nastiness if you click, so I'll transcribe the important part.

God hates fags, and fag-enablers; ergo, God hates Rush Limbaugh and all who reproach & revile His messengers who deliver his Word!
Last Aug. 12, Rush slandered WBC's Web site -- www.godhatesfags.org -- to 20 million people, and otherwise reproached and reviled WBC and her members. Hence,
God's secret curse is on Rush Limbaugh!


Wow, God even hates Rush?

27. Isn't it blasphemy to decide for God who God hates?
You know, it would be nice to get a lawyer to check out Fred's new anti-Canada website in the light of Bill C250 and use it to prosecute. That would be a good case of a man (and I use the term man unwillingly) hoist on his own petard.

26. It must be nice....
Having a direct pipeline to God, knowing God's turnons and turnoffs; being able to tell from just a glance or a raised eyebrow that God approves or disapproves of something....I'm guessing Phelps knows God so well because He and he get iced lattes at Starbucks every morning and just dish. Or perhaps they went to high school together. Either way, that God fellow is a lot like JD Salinger or Jackie Onassis, always wanting privacy, y'know?

Fred Phelps is so lucky.....The rest of us just stumble blindly, assuming doing good for humanity, and carrying on the work of sainted men like Ghandi and Jesus Christ is the right thing to do, while Fred.....

Fred knows the REAL story. (sigh)

31. In Albert?
Is that a Freudian slip there, Fred? I believe the name for the province is Alberta, but you've got a bit of a typo there, "In Albert".

Are you expressing your true desires there, Fred? That you wish you could be in some hot guy named Albert?

The Truth Shall Set you Free! Come on out of the closet Fred Phelps! There's time to save you yet!
